Abstract
This invention discloses a processing structure, and related method, for performing a selected data processing function by means of multiple processing modules that are selected to perform the selected function when appropriately connected together. The modules are removably connected to a common structure, such as a circuit board, which has associated with it a crossbar switch for providing intermodule data connections necessary for performing the selected function, and a synchronization unit for providing control signals to the modules to keep them in appropriate synchronism for performing the selected function. Convenient reconfiguration of the structure is effected by conditioning the crossbar switch and the synchronization unit as necessary to perform the different function.
